    DJI RC and GPS - not good news

    Ok sometimes it does not work, then i wait for a minute or so in the "find my drone" screen and then switch back to the usual map-screen. did this a few times and the blue dot appears.

    DJI RC and GPS - not good news

    My steps were: i was outside, my Mini3Pro was turned on, my RC had Wifi and BT disabled. I was flying a few minutes and then landed, turned off the drone, while the App/RC was still active. On the map i could not see the blue dot. Not during the flight and not afterwards. I then switched to...

    DJI RC and GPS - not good news

    I can confirm, that the DJI RC has built-in GNSS of some sort. And it is most likely a software problem from my experience, just did a test right now. Will post the details in a few minutes...

    Development: USB-Charging Cable for Drone-Battery

    USB-IF released the new specification for USB-PD 2.1. Good times ahead of us! 240 Watts ( 48 Volts / 5 Ampere ) is coming. Great for charging Drones and eBikes ;-) Source: USB Type-C® Cable and Connector Specification Revision 2.1 | USB-IF

    Development: USB-Charging Cable for Drone-Battery

    sorry for the delay, it has been very hard to focus and to get everything on the way. Very special thanks for your support! If you need a quick solution i suggest to buy a hanatora charger, as the kickstarter-project seems to be far away (mostly due to legal issues). So instead, i will release...

    Development: USB-Charging Cable for Drone-Battery

    Please do read the thread again, especially my initial posts. Almost everything is covered there. Also, this alsways has been a project to charge the bigger drones like air, air2, mavic pro, pro2 etc. the mini2 was just an example where *not* to use the adapter as it is useless. the bigger...

    Development: USB-Charging Cable for Drone-Battery

    i wouldn't want to use this on the mini(2) ever. Especially the mini2 already has USB-C Input and also allows USB-PD - i.e. it switches to 15 Volts and 2 Amps if i connect a nintendo-switch power-supply. Nothing to be gained by using my adapter at all as DJI implemented this strategy on the...

    Development: USB-Charging Cable for Drone-Battery

    no, i limited (via software) the wattage on purpose to 35 Watts to be as close as the original MA2 charger. The system can easily supply the full 100 Watts of USB-PD if configured that way.

    and yes, the output is a standard barell 2.5mm connector. one can easily switch to another drone, just need to replace the connector. for Mavic Pro2 the output voltage is higher, but this can be configured in software, so the adapter can output that aswell. up to 32 volt output is possible, even...

    Development: USB-Charging Cable for Drone-Battery

    Thanks for your input! The project is currently stalled due to multiple factors: - been too busy with my primary job so i had to pull back on projects - waiting for answers from lawyers for this project (more down below) - thinking about in which direction i want to move The current status...

    Development: USB-Charging Cable for Drone-Battery

    you can randomly check aliexpress if they are selling those to the public. there are some battery cables available for older DJI drones. I am sourcing my cables from another factory directly in shenzen, not available to the general public - sorry

    Development: USB-Charging Cable for Drone-Battery

    sorry, have been busy with work and another project that needed attention. i have now 3 inputs in my latest prototype: USB-PD (up to 100 Watts) USB-QC 3.0 (up to 36 Watts) USB-A (up to 20 Watts) I could easily replace the Quickcharge 3.0 with a QC 4.0 Converter, which would also allow up to...

    Thanks for your support - been buried by the job but try to continue this project in the next few days! got my parts for integrating Quickcharge so that option is also in reach!

    Development: USB-Charging Cable for Drone-Battery

    my point was to make it universal usable, just like in USB ;-) I know, there are many options out there, but nothing that will work with *any* usb-c charger :)
